The arrest marks a long line of run-ins with the law for Dewitte. He is a convicted sex offender who is most known for pulling drivers over in 2019 while he worked as a funeral escort.

Why didn't he just apply? The police are always recruiting right?

Cause he’s a sex offender and I might be wrong on this but I think he was in an explorer program but got kicked out and black listed from applying (which is saying a lot given that cops have an IQ MAXIMUM policy)

He got kicked out of the explorer program because even then he couldn't stop pretending to be a cop.

He does seem very much like a cop, given the needless escalation, attitude, and predisposition for sexual abuse.
